A share of digital Mudwater trading fees funds APE rewards for eligible holders. Here’s who qualifies, how holdings are weighted and where to check payout history.
This guide is read-only. Use the official site for claiming, combining and payout history.
How the fee works
The official APE Reflection overview describes a 2.5% reflection that buys APE for holders, plus a separate 2.5% royalty. The official FAQ describes a 5% charge on secondary trades and calls the reflection “2.5% of that royalty”.
Who qualifies and what counts
The official FAQ lists digital packs, booster boxes, cases and the card categories below. All items listed for sale are excluded from payouts. Other card categories have no published weight. 0xQuit confirmed that boxes must be digital.
| Collectible | Published payout weight |
|---|---|
| Pack | 1 |
| Booster Box | 38 |
| Case | 480 |
| Legendary (Base) | 32 |
| Rare (Foil) | 30 |
| Prestige (Foil) | 34 |
| Legendary (Foil) | 36 |
| Prestige (Serialized) | 50 |
| Legendary (Serialized 1/1) | 500 |
Compare SOL per reflection point
Compare digital collectibles by asking price in SOL divided by published payout weight. A lower number means a lower asking price per point, before purchase fees.
Prices can change. This comparison does not predict payouts. The official rules exclude listed items and use the time eligible items were held.
Check your own weight
Paste a Solana wallet address to total its published card weight and see its share of all counted card weight, with a guide estimate from last week's report. Sealed packs, boxes and cases earn on top of card weight.
When payouts arrive
The official schedule is every Monday at 8 PM ET. The payout uses time-weighted holdings over the previous week, so how long you hold eligible assets matters.
0xQuit says $APE is sent to the holder’s Solana wallet. The official Inventory shows your total payout and breakdown.
Boxes, cases and combining
On the official Combine page, 24 sealed packs can become a booster box and 10 sealed booster boxes can become a case. The FAQ explains that you can reverse either combination for free, with the contents still sealed.
0xQuit separately cited a 10% box boost and a 25% case boost (). The official sources leave the relationship between these figures and the published weights unexplained. This guide does not estimate a payout.
